Thankful Thursday February 22, 2018, Winter Family room 2018

Look to the LORD and his strength;

seek his face always.

1 Chronicles 16:11

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are yall today?? Doing well,I hope.Things are good here, been a busyweek, pretty much finished my upkitchen and was thrilled to get mypantry done, so just a few more smallthings to do!! Also did some tweakingon my Winter decor as it is seemingmore like Spring by the day.

My Winter decor was inspired this year by the new stars we boughtat the dollar tree for our christmastree and this lovely magnolia print we found at the Christmas tree storefor a great price in January. Love it.........So green. gold, white and cream are pretty much our colors for the famly room this year.So on with my Thankful Post#1

Thankful that we got some rugs and

carpeting cleaned over the weekend.

More of my early Spring cleaning!! lol

#2

Thankful for the delight of seeing

what you call a "Leaf Bug" on our

screen out on the porch. I have never

even heard of one, let alone seen one.

but hubby had. They are really cool,

and they look just like a leaf on their

side and they are thicker on their body

of course, but even move like a leaf

would move in the wind. God'screations are just Fascinating!!

Side view...doesn't he lookjust like a leaf....guess thatis why they call them leafbugs........lol

He was missing a backleg, poor thing! He haslil antennae too, you justcan't see them in the pic.and you got a free shotof my hubby too!! lol#3

Thankful for a new Chinese takeout

restaurant someone told us about.

We tried them out on Sat. and I

thought their food was great and

hubby liked everything but the

fried rice. We haven't gotten any

chinese food for the last few yrs.

as the 2 times we got it before it

was awful, and we didn't know

of another place that was good.

Not that we get it that often as it

isn't our all time favorite food but

we do like it every once in awhile.

So it was a nice discovery.

#4Thankful that my daughter andson-in-love made it back safeand sound from Utah, and theyhad a great time....

#5

Thankful that a younger friend of

ours who has been a single parent

of 3 children for years, and has been

a great Mom and has had a really rough

go of it and has had no interest in getting

involved with anyone, had a neighbor

introduce her to a fellow they know that

really seems like a great guy. She is

being very wise and taking it slow and

easy and getting him around friends to

get their take on him. We are so praying

that he is God's man for her, as one child

is now married, one is about to graduate

high school and the other is about

10 yrs. old, and absolutely loves the

guy.......and has even said I wish he

was my Dad. So we are very happy

and excited for her......

#6

Thankful that one of my dearest friends

was prayed for and the Lord healed

her. She had a medical problem and

needed to have a procedure done and

was prayed for and was healed by the

Lord. When she called to cancell the

procedure it seems the Lord had gone

before her and they couldn't even find

her name on the list to have the

procedure done...........

How cool is that??

#7

Thankful that we feel we are seeing

the beginning of a miracle that we

and other friends and family have

been diligently praying for.

Remember that I told you a whileback we had some sad and devastating news, well, we are feeling this is the answer to that but have a ways to go yet....but we are praising the Lord for

what has happened so far!

#8Thankful that we accidentally yet

delightfully found a magnolia treegrowing in our side backyard, I havealways wanted one, and think somehow it's seed were spread to our yardfrom our next door neighbors whohave several magnolia's that wereplanted there by our old neighbors.It is thin but over 6 ft. tall alreadyand look like there could be twopossibly cause they are growing ina bunch of grapevine, so it couldbe longer branches rather than a2nd one, as it is probably fightingto get light.....anyway, as soon aswe get the chance we are gonnaremove all the grapevine aroundit so it can flourish. Such a funsurprise!!

#9Thankful for Boarshead SalsalitaTurkey. I am not much of a Turkeyeater, as I like chicken much better,but this Turkey is awesome. Learned about it from Scott and Megan.

#10Thankful for the Presidential Prayer Team that helps us know what is really going on at the White House.We would highly encourage everyonewho cares about our country to sub-scribe to it.....you will get a daily email that tells you what is going on and what to prayer for.

#11 Thankful for this delightful videoabout parenting tips to take fromPrince William and Princess Kate.I love this royal couple and love seeing them with their children,and definitely think William getsthis from his Mom, Princess Diand Kate... she is a natural......and probably got it from her parents.Click Here to watch or type it in for yourselfhttps://www.lightworkers.com/parenting-trick-prince-william-and-duchess-kate/

#12Thankful for Lightworkers.comwhich is a very positive good newssite, so if you are feeling a lil downyou might want to visit them for some good news..........it was startedby Roma Downey and her hubby,as a way to bring some good newsto everyone to counteract all thenegative news we are always hearing......Great idea!!

Well, there you have it....another weekat Cozy Place.

#1. Nothing like getting it done before spring, lol!#2. GOD's creatures are surely amazingly beautiful! I had hoped you had a picture of it! IT IS AMAZING how much it does look just like a leaf! I copied it into my Animal collection under "bugs!" Some insects can grow their limbs back.#3. I LOVE Chinese egg rolls! I love all the cabbage they have in them and the crispy outsides! I could eat them every day!#4. Did they take any pictures? Jeanette Deen's sister, Patty is suppose to be going in a few weeks to see the Grand Canyon! I still can't believe it's been four years since Alice and I went throughout the mid-west seeing the Grand Canyon from different states.#5. I will put her on my prayer list too for the LORD to lead His will for them.#6. Praise GOD! He works in mysterious ways to answer prayers from His children.#7. Our Father GOD is so GOOD! I call out to Him with Joy and thanksgiving!#8. The LORD is so good with His surprises of gifts He gives to us even with His beautiful trees!! (And His leaf bugs, ha!)#9. I like the turkey pot pies I eat each week! (I clicked on the corner of the two pictures to get them to come up. They were Christmas pictures.) #10. Yes, indeed! It's great to hear of the positive things Pres. Trump is doing as well. I write in my prayer journal every day the prayers suggested for him and those he is working with, as well as those that oppose him.#11. As a teacher of Kindergartners for 27 years, I found my best was when I was at eye level and individual time with each student at my desk as well as eye level at my small group (4 to 5) table. They were more willing to share than in whole group at the head of the class!#12. Yes, it is always great to hear of good things and not just bad things all the time! Love you all, Susan

HI Susan,Don't know if they took pictures or not....I forgot to ask, they probably didn't becausethey just enjoy things.....and are in the moment, or if they did there probably isn't a bunch of them. lol

Were you meaning you clicked on the pics in my post and they were of Christmas?? If so,they weren't Christmas pictures, I just used the Christmas ball to look like Orbs and toadd some bling........lol

I think children love that because they want to be a part of things, and when adults areway up there and they are way down here, they feel a bit leftout, so agree getting eyeto eye is a great thing for both people.

The first time I opened up your blog those two pictures did not show. The box was empty with a corner I could click on and it opened up the pictures. Yes, you were right about the color orbs! This time when I opened it up they were showing. My computer must have messed up in receiving the pictures the first time. It's all showing now! Enjoyed your Thankful Thursday as I always do! Love, Susan
